The story of Wanuskewin is still being known. Some of the sites uncovered date back thousands of years, making them older than the Pyramids of Egypt.
For more than 6,000 years people have gathered at this unique and beautiful place. The nomadic tribes who roamed the Northern Plains came here to hunt bison, gather food
and herbs, and to find shelter from the winter winds. Walking in their footsteps, examining the evidence of their daily lives, you will understand why people chose this site
as a place of worship and celebration, of renewed connections with the natural world, and of a deep spirituality.
Wanuskewin Heritage Park hugs the west bank of the South Saskatchewan River. Within its 760 acres there are 19 pre-contact sites that represent the
active society of Northern Plains Peoples.
I headed out within the day and I had never seen this place. It was just re opening after being under construction for some two years.

ReplyDeleteNice set of photos, Jack and conceptual architecture that blends in with it's environment.
ReplyDeleteAre there any buffalo in the area, now? The Oneidas in Wisconsin are breeding buffalo, and they sell the meat to help support the tribe.
Now there is something I want to put on my Bucket List.
